Marine Chandlery – A Guide For Every Eventuality

The world of marine chandlery is incredibly varied, and unless you find yourself at sea for any length of time you probably won’t realise just how diverse the equipment that you might need is. 

When preparing for any offshore venture, having reliable supplies on board isn’t just convenient, it’s essential. We provide a wide range of marine chandlery designed to keep your vessel in top condition, whether you’re a seasoned mariner or new to boating.  

This guide outlines the key categories of marine supplies, why each is important, and how we can help you source them efficiently.

Deck and Engine Supplies 

Repair and maintenance are the names of the game for the deck hardware and engine supplies, and everything needs to be robust in such an environment. Our own deck and engine range include… 

  • Treatment products to keep your sewage or waste system safe: Properly treated systems reduce odours and prevent contamination, keeping your vessel compliant and safe for crew and passengers. 
  • Emergency repair components and tools, such as adjustable wrenches, welding rods or electrodes and leak stop tape: Quick repairs can prevent minor issues from turning into costly problems.  
  • Chemicals for the dispersal of problems like marine growth. These products protect hulls, propellers and other surfaces from biofouling, helping your vessel maintain efficiency.  

Additionally, we supply deck fittings, ropes, chains and other hardware essential for daily operations. Every item in our deck and engine range is selected for daily operations. Every item in our deck and engine range is selected for durability, reliability and compliance with marine safety standards. Learn more about our deck and engine supplies for vessels of all sizes.  

Cabin and Galley Range 

The cabin or galley areas on a ship are frequently very busy, so they need to be extremely clean, so they don’t represent a safety hazard. Because of that, our cabin and galley collection include… 

  • General cleaning liquids for sinks, showers, tiles and the like: Keeping high-traffic areas hygienic reduces the risk of slips, falls and health issues on board.  
  • Lime remover to deal with even major lime buildups: Effective cleaning products save time and effort during routine maintenance.  
  • Odour remover (especially useful within onboard accommodation): Maintaining a fresh environment is vital for crew wellbeing, particularly on longer voyages.  

Our cabin and galley range also includes dishwashing solutions, sanitising sprays and other products specifically designed for marine environments, ensuring hygiene without damaging surfaces. 

Chemicals and Lubricants 

Chemicals and lubricants are the backbones of your offshore supply stocks, and they can be relied upon to achieve a multitude of things. These things include, but are not limited to, the following… 

  • Keeping your stored drinking water safe for consumption: Water treatment chemicals prevent contamination, ensuring your crew always has safe hydration. 
  • Lubricating engines or other moving elements within your ship’s construction: Regular lubrication prolongs engine life and reduces maintenance costs. 
  • Removing debris or other blockages from within mechanical or electrical systems: Efficient chemical maintenance avoids downtime and costly repairs.  

We also stock antifreeze, rust preventatives and marine-grade solvents. As you might expect, there’s a lot more that could be said about our range of supplies, but one thing that is consistent is that all of them come from the very best brand names in the business. Unitor, Ferryl, Shell and Hadex are all mainstay companies that we deal with, so you can count on us to offer the very best chandlery that you’ll find anywhere.
